“It is imperative that our new President knows how and when to use force and diplomacy judiciously, to know how to deploy the olive branch and the arrow. The President needs to be ready to act swiftly and decisively in a crisis. And we think our next President must restore our moral authority and leadership around the world with the courage to meet with our adversaries when appropriate, and the wisdom to pursue diplomacy wisely.”

–An open letter, published Friday, from admirals and generals supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) in her bid for the Democratic nomination.
